According to the data: "Besides missiles, Russia is also using the IT-front. Besides the city management system, the aggressors wanted to receive our data.

Despite all protection systems, part of the working files was stolen and published on the Russians’ Telegram channels".

Details: According to Moskalenko, the main aim of the attack on May 13 was to disable the city management system.

"This is why they aimed at the IT infrastructure and the city servers", – he added.

According to expert assessments, it was one of the biggest attacks on cities since Independence, the deputy noted.

According to Moscalenko: "Thanks to the coordinated work of all services, the attack on May 13 did not affect the basic aspects of city management. Part of the services was temporarily limited. In two nights and two days we managed to restore some of the services. The rest will be restored in stages".
